Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Pasta is a simple process if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat. Add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes, then add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
5. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
